Aggravated assaults over the last 12 months are up 11% compared to the annual average over the last three years, according to the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department data through December 05.

The areas of the county policed by the LAPD and Sheriff’s Department averaged 586 aggravated assaults a week over the last 12 months. In 2019, that number was 493 a week.

The totals include only aggravated assaults, which police generally define as someone being attacked or seriously injured by another person, whether or not they used a firearm or other weapon.

A closer look at Los Angeles assaults neighborhood by neighborhood

The danger is not the same neighborhood to neighborhood. ABC7’s data team looked at data from the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by neighborhood from 2019 through December 05, 2022, the latest date for which records are available from the two agencies.

The map color codes each police district by the aggravated assault rate over the last 12 months. The three darker blues represent neighborhoods with assault rates that are higher than the citywide rate.
